Don't know about this one.

Yes, this is a known problem.  In beta 17.1, the 13th control-C will
force a TerminateProcess which will kill the hanging process and often
bash as well.

In the upcoming Beta 18 release, signals are much happier and control-C
actually does the right thing (for the most part anyhow).  The 13
control-Cs ugly hack is going away for good so don't get too used to it.
